	The English Patient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English Patient is a 1992 novel by Michael Ondaatje which deals with the gradually revealed histories of a critically burned man, his Canadian nurse, a Canadian thief, and an Indian sapper in the British Army as they live out the end of World War II in an Italian villa.
		The English Patient is in part a sequel to Ondaatje's earlier work In the Skin of a Lion (1987); the characters of Hana and Caravaggio reappear from the earlier novel.
		All that she knows about the patient is that he was burned beyond recognition in a plane crash before being taken to the hospital by a Bedouin tribe and that he claims to be English.

	Salon \| "The English Patient"
		English Patient," the superb new film by Anthony Minghella, is that rarest of things: a film based on a great contemporary novel.
		The wonder of "The English Patient," to paraphrase Dr. Johnson, is not so much that it was done well, as that it was done at all.
		But all in all, "The English Patient" does justice to its parent work — and in the process, it illuminates the respective domains of film and fiction, their strengths and weaknesses, their unexpected similarities.

		The later narrative concerns Hana, a twenty-year old Canadian who is nursing the English patient as he lies dying of burns received in a plane crash and grieving for her father and her lover (and father of her aborted child), both of whom have died in the war.
		The English patient apparently cannot remember his own identity but has been treated as an British officer because he speaks English and is clearly of the right social class.
		The first section, 'The Villa', introduces Hana and the English patient and weaves fragments of the English patient's recollection of his plane crash and rescue by the Bedouin into an account of their life in the villa.

		We learn soon enough that the "English" patient actually is Count Laszlo de Almasy, a Hungarian linguist and explorer, who was assigned to North Africa as a map-maker for the Royal Geographic Society.
		"The English Patient," which unfolds with elliptical, dreamlike exposition, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding Almasy, as it adds layers of romance between Hana and Kip.

		In fact, The English Patient can be regarded, in part, as a deconstruction of Casablanca, an anti-Casablanca that turns all the assumptions of the older film on their heads.
		In The English Patient, Almasy does succeed; his affair with Katherine is his running away from himself, to his and everyone else’s destruction.
		The lack of boundaries The English Patient celebrates is not that of cosmopolitanism but that of narcissism, the chief symptom of which is the inability of the self to feel or recognize proper boundaries of feeling.

	Filmtracks: The English Patient (Gabriel Yared)
		The English Patient: (Gabriel Yared) Most remembered as the score that stole the Academy Award from the field of more deserving candidates in 1996, Gabriel Yared's The English Patient was the right score for the right film at the right time.
		The English Patient, as a film, is a masterful example of the craft, and yet it's a frustrating tale of lost passion and doomed fate.
		Of his work on The English Patient, Yared has observed: "Anthony Minghella, whose musical knowledge is refined and wide-ranging, gave me a task that would be enormously difficult for any composer: to attempt to equal or at least replace the great Bach of the Aria from the Goldberg Variations.

	The English Patient Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The English Patient, based on a novel by Michael Ondaatje, begins with a scene where two people are flying in a bi-plane over a vast desert which looks like an ocean of sand.
		The rest of the movie is about flashbacks and memories of this English patient, who happens to have a case of amnesia.
		The English Patient is rated R. For the first hour and a half there really isn't much that is offensive, but after that point, get ready for full frontal nudity and some sex scenes, along with violence and language.

		Caravaggio, the patient's pursuer, has his own damage and must find his own redemption, which is ultimately to do with forgiveness.

	SPLICED: "The English Patient" interviews
		But some, like English screenwriter and director Anthony Minghella, might be driven to find a way to do the book justice as he was with his film "The English Patient," adapted from the Booker Prize-winning novel by Canadian author Michael Ondaatje.
		Starring Ralph Finnes as the patient, Juliette Binoche as his nurse and, in her most powerful and emotional performance to date, Kristin Scott Thomas as his lover, "The English Patient" has plenty of candidates for acting nominations too, but it is certain to garner a nod for Minghella's screenplay, about which he is very modest.
		As happy as the director is with the outcome of his project, when the conversation turns to the Oscar buzz surrounding "The English Patient," he speaks hesitantly.

	The English Patient
		The English Patient is the kind of movie that makes you want to interpret everything you see, that makes you keenly aware that everything can have meaning.
		We soon learn that he's not English at all; he's the Hungarian Count Laszlo de Almasy (Ralph Fiennes), and he was a cartographer in the employ of the British government.
		Meanwhile (at least in terms of screen time), Hana is falling in love, not with her patient, but with Kip (Naveen Andrews) a Sikh bomb disposal expert who enters her life by shooing her away from the monastery's piano -- he fears the Germans have mined it, and he's right.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The English Patient
		Hanna (played by Juliette Binoche) is a Canadian nurse who gets intrigued by a mysterious disfigured man. Knowing that his life is about to end, she leaves her post and brings "English Patient" to an abandoned monastery in order to care for him in his last days.
		In the meantime, the "English Patient" remembers late 1930s when he used to be Count Almassy, Hungarian explorer accompanying British expedition mapping the Saharan desert.
		All those who sit through 162 minutes of THE ENGLISH PATIENT are going to be awarded by John Seale's beautiful cinematography, couple of incredibly effective shots of desert, splendid costumes and powerful and very credible performance by Kristen Scott-Thomas (and the acting talent is not the only thing Thomas reveals in this film).

	The English Patient, Screenplay by Anthony Minghella
		The English Patient deals with an anti-technological cartographer who would rather draw his maps of the North African deserts based on the testimony of the native inhabitants than on aerial photographs.
		But for all this character's touted antipathy toward modernism and its advances, The English Patient is fully invested in the technology of cinema, of moving images and the ubiquitous all-seeing eye of the camera.
		The "English" patient (starring Ralph Fiennes in the misnamed title role), shot down in North Africa and now dying in Italy, turns out to be a Hungarian self-exile, the Count de Almasy, a man trying to forget or fashion his home.

		Hence the most striking aspect of The English Patient is its photography, superb on both the endless scale of the desert and on the intimacy of the human face.
		The level of acting within The English Patient is uniformly high, from the central characters to the smallest walk-on roles.
		A maze of flashback and inference, The English Patient is at its best as it pastes together the fragments of a life destroyed by desperation and love.

	Review: The English Patient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This is one of the year's most unabashed and powerful love stories, using flawless performances, intelligent dialogue, crisp camera work, and loaded glances to attain a level of eroticism and emotional connection that many similar films miss.
		The one flaw in The English Patient is related to an aspect of the structure.
		This motion picture is yet another example of how the patience of movie-goers, after being sorely tried during the first eight mediocre months of 1996, is being rewarded by a surge of excellent end-of-the-year releases.

		The most EXCITING thing about seeing the English Patient was waiting in the twisting multi-level serpentine composed of me and my fellow moviegoers at the Courthouse theater in Arlington.
		The patient is cared for by his inexplicably devoted nurse, Hana (Juliette Binoche).
		The English Patient is a cerebral "chick flick" not the earthy romp as I and, I bet, the large number of guys in the audience expected (especially on the Sunday of the big Redskins - 49ers game).

		Unlike the movie, which concentrates on the love story between the English patient and the woman he loved, the novel is more about the confusing impulses that lead to both passion and danger in all the characters.
